Ah yes, the descriptive food trend. I suppose it's better than the "surprise" trend of the 50s (Chicken Surprise, Tuna Surprise, etc.)
Speaking of retro food, I have a feeling that many of you would get a kick out of these two web sites:
The Gallery of Regrettable Food, which highlights recipes from the mid-century:
Good Lord, good Lord. This looks like . . . like Orson Welles' liver. Like a shaved Horta. Like a cinnamon roll made entirely out of horse fat and brown sugar. Like Jabba the Hutt's prostate. I don't know what the hell this is. Maybe a roast of some sort. If so, it's a good Depression-era diet aid: this is what you would eat if you had more money, so be glad you don't.

Weight Watchers recipe cards from 1974
Um, I guess this is a salad best enjoyed at the house of that one scary lady down the street who never leaves the house and talks to her knicknacks.
I showed this card to a friend who said, "What the hell's in that bowl-- bong water?!"
Is that why the ceramic animals are so drawn to it? Is it their magical pond?
Why have they gathered? What do they want?
Bon Appetit!
